"Borders" is one of several games created by Gesher Educational Affiliates in Israel from 1982-84 under the direction of Yaakov Kirschen, a cartoonist at the Jerusalem Post at the time.

The action in this game is loosely based on Donkey Kong. Each “platform” in the game represents a different historical era during which Jews faced persecution. The player is chased by period-appropriate enemies on each platform. To progress, the player must jump and touch a Torah icon, which will unlock an elevator. Then the player must avoid the enemies and reach the elevator, which will lift him to the next platform/time period. If a player successfully completes all the stages, he can see an animated final sequence.
